Who is not familiar with the story of the Little Prince by Antoine de Saint Exupéry? This new, silent production describes humanity with incredible gentleness and depth, a perfect introduction for the kids. Images and sounds replace words, leaving room for interpretation for those who have not (yet) read the book. Different and yet very close to the original, the allegories and great moments of the Little Prince are brought to life through the magic of the puppets.
What: Prolific Luxembourg jazz guitarist

“A guitarist whose fresh and pure guitar sound gives rise to multiple melodic atmospheres, underlined by a particularly fluid playing. A musician with a great future”, the famous Beninese jazz guitarist Lionel Loueke once said of the Luxembourg guitarist and composer Greg Lamy. His trio is an inspiring and ambitious ensemble, harmonious and pluralist and always animated by the pleasure of playing together, thus creating a unique jazz atmosphere. A trio between swing, groove and contemporary jazz, all in the cosy atmosphere of one of the country’s most special music venues.
In the meantime, 37 of the injured die in local hospitals. Based on the testimony of a whistleblower, a sports newspaper team begins an investigation into diluted disinfectants, which were sold to all hospitals where they were further diluted, and exposes entire channels of corruption. Meanwhile the newly appointed Minister of Health in the temporary technocratic government and other key actors, faced with a horrified public, the remaining victims and their families, try to pick up the pieces. But can anything really change?
Director Alexander Nanau films the team of journalists and the minister day-to-day in a detached manner, unveiling the sinister face of the corruption infiltrating all levels. The final message is in the soundtrack: “We are how we treat each other when the day is done.” Furthermore, “Heroes look like you.” The film has won numerous awards at film festivals around the globe.
What: Intriguing exhibition
Where: CNL, 2 Rue Emmanuel Servais, 7565 Mersch, Luxembourg
When: Monday - Friday between 9am-5pm, info here
Despite its prominent position in Luxembourg’s history, certain aspects of the Second World War remain unexplored to this day - for example, the situation of the literary world during the occupation. Who wrote? What was there to read? And how did the authors behave towards the new rulers? This comprehensive and richly illustrated exhibition formulates answers to the long-standing research gap around literary and intellectual life after the Nazi seizure of power.
Exhibits from literature, art, history and everyday culture provide access to a highly complex topic of ongoing social relevance.
